I went up to New York City a month or so ago for a conference. I was with three friends from GW at lunch when one of the girls was invited to go to the office that she was interning for over the summer. To be honest, I had no idea what was going on, but tagged along with my friends.
After a short cab ride, we arrived. It ended up being one of the best afternoons. I was introduced to The Levo League.
Being in the same room as of these women was amazing. We sat around one of the desks and talked. A lot. (I even went on my infamous “Pinterest Rant.”) The simple act of talking about and sharing our personal experiences and opinions had a profound effect. I had the basic gist of what their mission was for the website, but even without all the details, I knew it was going to be a BIG thing just from their passion and “realness.”
I am one of those people who “catches” other people’s enthusiasm. I have most certainly caught the enthusiasm of The Levo League!
Once you sign up, you have to be accepted into the community before getting full access… it doesn’t take very long, but it assures that the website is full of great individuals!
Once you’re in, you can prepare yourself to find all kinds of great resources. From job listings to career advice to relevant lifestyle articles… it’s on there! My favorite part is called “Office Hours.” The Office Hour segments are LIVE video streaming interviews with incredibly inspiring women in business. I had time one Thursday to join in and it was SO cool. I felt like I was sitting one-on-one with Susan Lyne (of Gilt Groupe).
Seriously so much fun!
The website itself is really interactive:
How cute is the office???
I definitely recommend signing up and joining the Levo League community!
When a stranger offers to take a photo of you and your boys and it ends up being a framer 🫶🏻🥹 Jack is at the perfect age for fun adventures like a trip to the farm (and not just any ole farm, @oldmcdonaldhasafarm!). 🌽 🐄 🐷 👩🏻🌾 We fed the cows, played with the kittens, said hello to bunnies, watched piggies race, saw one month old calves… so much fun for an almost three year old! (And Rory is more than happy to come along for the ride!)

The night this photo was taken was one of the most beautiful evenings– we had dinner with our friends outside at Millie’s. Taking turns bouncing Rory and keeping Jack on track to eat his dinner. I couldn’t tell you a single thing that was discussed between rushed bites and standing up and sitting back down only to stand back up again. (In my memory, I was just completely preoccupied with trying to keep Rory out of the sun.) When the final drop of our margaritas were sipped and the last chip with guacamole was consumed, we all got up to go catch the sunset on the beach– bedtimes be damned! As we were walking, my brother in law carrying Rory and Jack on Mike’s shoulders (I was trailing behind with my phone snapping pictures), a man walked by us and said “it may not seem like it, but these are the best days of your life.” He got choked up telling us about his children; I got choked up thinking about how lucky we are. The air was cool and the sun was painting the sky with cotton candy colors and I said to Mike, “I’m so overwhelmed all the time but it’s the best kind of overwhelm.” I feel like I’m drowning most days– there’s always more to do and less time to do it in– and I’m touched out and overstimulated and my brain is most definitely mush. And they’re still the very best days. 🫶🏻
I’m Carly! I have been creating content online for over fifteen years- I started my blog my freshman year of college and now I’m a 34 year old mom of two little boys.
Right now I am finding the sweet spot of mothering and working. I am creating a magical, simple childhood for my boys while still finding time to do things that fill my own cup like working out, reading, practicing photography, and needlepointing.
I feel best when I put on a cute outfit in the morning and a tiny bit of makeup and have my hair blown out… but I also want to be comfortable and I am embracing my wrinkles and I’m letting my hair go grey.
My dream is to own a bookstore (one day!!), I am a huge homebody (major JOMO), and I’d love for to follow along! 🫶🏻
